When I was young and meant to be out until all hours of the night, I could do so because I rarely slept a full night. Being an insomniac helped me to join the world of the young. π
However, when I finally learned how to sleep regularly through the night, I made it a discipline to be in bed by 9:30pm each night since I was basically going to up at the same time every morning regardless of when I went to sleep – 6am. On a rare occasion, I can sleep in until 7 or even 8am, but with my early-rising husband this is nearly impossible. π
Still, being on a set sleep schedules makes it a challenge to go out at night and be social. Therefore, now and then it does require an upset to my schedule. Unfortunately, despite possibly taking a nap to help me stay awake the night of, I have to use a day to recover because I feel tired all the next day.
The older I get, the more difficult it is to recover from these late nights out. Although I enjoy the time, I cannot say that I enjoy the recovery…. Still, I cannot become a social hermit – though it does appeal at times. π
Anyway, it’s nearly 9:30am and methinks it may just be nearly naptime…. π
